We're seeing more of why Taylor Swift is attracted to Travis Kelce ... courtesy of a couple pics he snapped a few years back.

Travis, now 34, shot a video back in 2017 while he enjoyed a day at the spa. We knew the dude was fit, but it's better than we thought!

It's some sort of bubble massage, which Travis clearly enjoyed. He stands up and voices his approval over the treatment, and in the process gives people a look at what's under the jersey.

You see him flex a bit and then disentangles his hair as he peers into the camera.

Now to the present ... Taylor was at a recording studio Thursday night in NYC, but she's heading to Kansas City to spend time with her BF and hit up the Chiefs game on Christmas Day.

The relationship, we're told, is already super serious and there are rumblings of a ring in the not-too-distant future. We will see, but it feels like that's the trajectory.

Estamos viendo más de por qué Taylor Swift se siente atraída hacia Travis Kelce, cortesía de un par de fotos que él tomó hace unos años.

Travis, que ahora tiene 34 años, grabó un video allá por 2017 mientras disfrutaba de un día en el spa. Sabíamos que el tipo estaba en forma, ¡pero es mejor de lo que pensábamos!

Esta es una especie de masaje de burbujas, que Travis claramente disfrutó. En el video se lo ve riendo y expresando su aprobación del tratamiento, mientras le da a la gente un vistazo de lo que hay debajo de su camiseta.

Se lo ve haciendo un poquito de flexiones y luego desenredando su pelo mientras mira hacia la cámara.

Ahora al presente ... Taylor estuvo en un estudio de grabación la noche del jueves en Nueva York, pero se dirige a Kansas City para pasar tiempo con su novio y estar en el juego de los Chiefs el día de Navidad.

Según nos cuentan, la relación ya va súper en serio y se rumorea que habrá un anillo en un futuro no muy lejano. Ya veremos, pero da la sensación de que esa es la trayectoria.

Taylor Swift y Travis Kelce puede que no estén cerca de traer bebés al mundo, pero eso no significa que otros no lo estén y parece que a la gente le gustan sus nombres.

Un representante de BabyNames.com -uno de los principales sitios que la gente visita a la hora de iluminarse con un nombre- le dice a TMZ que los nombres "Taylor" y "Travis" se han disparado en su sitio.

Nos dicen que esos dos nombres se han disparado alrededor de un 25% entre noviembre y diciembre en comparación con lo que sus usuarios podrían buscar normalmente y BN.com dice que le atribuyen esto al fenómeno que ha consumido la cultura pop durante todo el otoño.

Obviamente, Taylor era una estrella importante antes de engancharse con Travis, pero nos dicen que la relación la ha hecho aún más popular y la prueba está en los datos.

Por cierto, si te preguntas qué significan estos nombres y de dónde vienen, también lo sabemos. Taylor es un nombre inglés de género neutro que literalmente significa: "El que confecciona ropa". En cuanto a Travis, otro nombre inglés que significa "Del cruce o Tollgate".

Ya hemos visto antes este tipo de locura con los nombres de bebés, concretamente cuando se estrenó la película "Barbie" y la gente estaba totalmente obsesionada con ella, acudiendo en masa a BabyNames.com para buscar esos nombres también en aquel momento. Ahora, Taylor parece estar dominando sus motores en línea.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce might not be anywhere near the baby-making stage of their relationship, but that doesn't mean others aren't ... and it sounds like folks like their names.

A rep for BabyNames.com -- one of the premiere destinations for digital baby name sifting online -- tells TMZ ... it's them, they're the problem (or the reason, rather) for why they believe searches for the monikers of "Taylor" and "Travis" have skyrocketed on their site.

We're told those two names have jumped about 25% between November and December compared to what their users might normally search -- and BN.com says they attribute this to the Tayvis phenomenon that's consumed pop culture throughout the entirety of fall.

Obviously, Taylor was a major star before hooking up with Travis ... but we're told the relationship has, arguably, made her even more popular -- and the proof's in the data.

BTW, if you're wondering what these names mean and where they come from -- we know that too. Taylor is an English gender-neutral name that literally means ... "One who tailors clothes." As for Travis, another English name that means "From the crossing or Tollgate."

We've seen this sort of craze with baby names before -- namely, when the "Barbie" movie came out and people were totally obsessed with it ... flocking to BabyNames.com to look up those names as well at the time. Now, Taylor appears to be dominating their online engines.

Millyz has a score to settle with Machine Gun Kelly, but has no idea when they'll get it cracking ... because he thinks Kelly's secretly scared of him.

The Massachusetts-bred rapper tells TMZ Hip Hop he didn't get into the biz to create a white rapper beef sideshow ... but claims MGK has worked his last nerve, and been working overtime behind the scenes to make sure he doesn't get any of his looks.

Millyz says he didn't appreciate MGK's unprovoked "Renegade" shot at Jack Harlow -- especially after experiencing what he says were "weird" encounters in person.

For years, Millyz says MGK has faked like he doesn't know who he is, and accuses him of gatekeeping over threats he'll become more popular.

The fight for streams may be slim pickings, but Millyz tells us he's been able to make his dough in spite of the alleged blackball attempts from MGK.

Kanye West has been keeping his group of "Vultures" collaborators close, which especially includes Bump J ... because Ye is spearheading a big album release for him in 2024.

Sources close to Ye's camp tell TMZ Hip Hop ... he considers Bump J a fellow Chicagoan and hip hop legend and wants to help get his career back on track.

The bar is being set high ... we're told Swizz Beatz was the first producer to send Bump some beats, as did Metro Boomin, Wheezy and John "Juice" Harris ... all intending to help Bump create a second first impression in the industry.

Kanye produced Bump’s first single “Move Around” back in 2005, but an armed bank robbery charge forced him out of the picture while he served a 7-year prison sentence.

Bump and Kanye reconnected at the top of 2022 where he assisted Ye in co-writing on his unfinished "Donda 2" album, and later for The Game and Hit-Boy's "Drillmatic."

We're told the lead single, "Vultures" originally belonged to Bump as a solo record, and once Ye heard it, he immediately summoned Bump to join him and the rest of the gang in Tokyo to help finish his joint album with Ty Dolla $ign.

Unfortunately for Bump, Japan denied him access to the country -- due to his record -- so he returned home and later joined Ye in Italy, where they completed the project.

Bump was also part of the "Vultures" live premieres in Dubai and Miami where he rubbed shoulders with Lil Durk, Freddie Gibbs, Offset and others.

It's the most wonderful time to show off Christmas spirit, and K-pop idols always understand the assignment -- with the biggest names in the industry putting their love for the holidays on display every year!!

Chae-won of LE SSERAFIM is always one of the first stars to post up in front of the tree when December rolls around ... with Lisa of BLACKPINK following suit with a cozy ensemble.

RM from BTS and Jackson Wang usually take a more model-esque route during the holidays ... electing for serious snaps whenever they enjoy the festivities.

NewJeans and aespa love to team up for group shots during X-mas ... just like Jennie, Jisoo, Lisa and Rosé, who rocked iconic, matching Santa 'fits in years past.

And Blinks won't have to ask for much from St. Nick this year ... after the die-hard fanbase got their wish of keeping the group together following lengthy contract negotiations with YG Entertainment.

Minnie from (G)I-dle spends her special time with her loved ones ... including her bestie, Lisa, and fellow groupmate, Yuqi.

TWICE members Jeongyeon and Jihyo also teamed up for an iconic Christmas photoshoot this year ... and IVE's Yujin is all about the winter activities, too!!

Per usual, the members of Stray Kids take advantage of the holidays ... with Felix, Lee Know and Hyunjin always proving they're on the "nice" list -- even if they do have a song titled "Christmas EveL."

Flavor Flav no tiene más que palabras amables para su compañero de Public Enemy Chuck D, en el período previo a su nuevo single "Every Where Man", y aunque no hablaron por un tiempo, insiste en que no había mala onda.

Tenemos a Flav en "TMZ Live" el viernes, y nos dijo que ha estado plagado de preguntas sobre cuando se reunirían, pero dice que no podría haber una reunión porque nunca se separaron, simplemente se tomaron un largo descanso.

A pesar de algunos años de drama entre ellos, Flav dice que ama a Chuck, y dice que el sentimiento es mutuo.

Reconoce que a veces la gente no se pone de acuerdo, y en esos casos, dice que ambos dieron un paso atrás y se mantuvieron en movimiento.

En cuanto a la música, Flav está encantado con su nuevo single, en el que participa Chuck y que saldrá a la venta el 10 de enero. También viene con obras de arte de un diseñador gráfico llamado Aimee Johnson.

Como la mayoría de las cosas este año, hay una conexión con Taylor Swift, sí, incluso con Public Enemy. Flav dice que los Swifties en las redes sociales le recomendaron a Aimee cuando posteó que necesitaba algo de ayuda para el arte de su trabajo.

Échale un vistazo al video, Flav —que es un Swiftie importante— dejó caer una analogía deportiva en nosotros para transmitir su agradecimiento a los fans de Tay Tay.

Flavor Flav has nothing but kind words for his Public Enemy partner Chuck D in the run-up to their new single "Everywhere Man" -- and while they didn't talk for a while, he insists there was no real beef.

We've got Flav on "TMZ Live" Friday, and he told us he's been plagued by queries on when P.E. would reunite -- but he says there couldn't be a reunion because they never broke up -- they merely took a long break.

Despite a few years of headline-grabbing drama between them, Flav says he loves Chuck -- and the feeling is mutual.

He acknowledges sometimes people don't see eye to eye, and in those instances, he says they both pull it back together and keep things moving.

On the music front, Flav is ecstatic with his new single, which features Chuck and is set for wide release on Jan. 10. It also comes with cool artwork by a graphic designer named Aimee Johnson.

Like most things this year, there's a Taylor Swift connection -- yes, even to Public Enemy. Flav says Swifties on social media actually pointed him in Aimee's direction when he posted about needing artistic help.

Check out the video ... Flav, who is a major Swiftie himself, dropped a sports analogy on us to relay his thanks to Tay Tay's fans.

Tinashe's hoping she finally has some peace of mind in her years-long ordeal involving a man who's repeatedly shown up at her home -- the R&B star's been granted court-ordered protection for the next 3 years.

According to court documents, the judge just signed off on the restraining order against Ramon Oppikofer, and it will remain in effect until December 2026.

TMZ Hip Hop broke the story ... Tinashe claimed she'd been bombarded with messages from Oppikoffer on IG since 2022, but says things escalated this year at her brother's Halloween party, where Oppikofer showed up, uninvited, and was allegedly lurking later in her neighborhood.

Tinashe claimed he later broke into her home before some of her peeps chased him away. We're told he was later arrested for trespassing, but then released on his own recognizance because of L.A.'s no-cash bail system.

However, the L.A. City Attorney has since charged Oppikofer with one misdemeanor count of trespassing.

Before this comfy kid in her yellow sweats turned into a music icon, she was just tappin' into the Christmas spirit, rockin' around the Christmas tree and making her dreams come true on the concrete jungle!

Becoming quite the popular musician in the early 2000s, you probably heard this boo's stellar piano skills on the radio, and ever since, she's been on fire ... Billie Eilish, Usher and Jay Z are just a few of music's hottest stars she's collaborated with.

She's also a proud momma bear of two!

Sam Asghari dropped several dozen pounds following his split from Britney Spears ... and while lots of folks in Hollywood are using meds to shed weight, Sam's not hopping on that trend.

We got Britney's ex leaving Equinox gym, and our photog asked him about his dramatic weight loss and his secret to losing 35 to 40 pounds.

Sam says his body transformation is NOT the result of Ozempic ... a prescription diabetes medication that's becoming widely popular among celebs and average folks as a diet drug.

Even Oprah recently admitted she's using meds to lose and maintain weight, and she refuses to be shamed about it.

But, Sam says he's been putting in work at the gym and watching what he eats -- telling us fitness often comes down to diet.

Sam's always been fit, but now he looks more toned and cut than ever and he says being in shape's always been a priority for him ... which is evident to anyone with eyes.

He's also got some tips for anyone looking to lose a few pounds -- in his eyes you don't have to resort to meds as long as you keep your hands out of the cookie jar.

Nirvana and Kurt Cobain's estate are being told nevermind when it comes to the dismissal of a child pornography lawsuit centered around a famous album cover ... 'cause the lawsuit is back on.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit revived the lawsuit Thursday, reversing a lower court's decision to toss the whole thing.

Remember ... Spencer Elden says he's the naked baby pictured on the band's "Nevermind" album cover. Of course, he's all grown up now and in 2021 he filed suit against Nirvana and Cobain's estate over the cover.

Spencer accused Nirvana of publishing child porn by using a nude photo of him on the album cover way back in 1991 ... when he was just four months old.

The suit was dismissed in September 2022 ... when a district judge in California ruled Spencer had waited too long to sue Nirvana.

Now, the appeals court says the suit can go forward because Nirvana republished the album cover in 2021 when the band re-released "Nevermind" and held that each republication of the cover may constitute a new injury to Elden ... clearing the way for Spencer to continue his lawsuit against the Seattle grunge band.

Blueface and Chrisean Rock continue to put their infant son in danger ... going live on Instagram after a dispute where Chrisean claims BF ambushed her, and punched her in the face.

Both went live Thursday morning from BF's driveway -- according to Chrisean, Blueface asked her to come over -- and she listened, hoping to get some babysitting relief.

She then claims Blueface ambushed and assaulted her, striking her several times in the head. It appears he left bloody evidence all over her car and his knuckles. Chrisean refused to leave Blueface's driveway and told her followers that she was waiting for the cops to come to haul him away to jail.

However, as for Blueface, he claims Chrisean showed up unannounced, and claimed the baby, Chrisean Jr., was being transported without the safety of a car seat.

Chrisean fired back with receipts ... posting their recent text messages to prove he had asked her to come over.

Law enforcement sources tell us at this time, no calls to service have been made to the residence, but it's undeniable, the situation surrounding the child has been toxic for weeks.

Blueface y Chrisean Rock siguen poniendo a su hijo en peligro, haciendo lives de Instagram después de una disputa donde Chrisean afirma que Blueface le tendió una emboscada y le dio un puñetazo en la cara.

Ambos aparecieron en vivo el jueves por la mañana en la vereda de Blueface. De acuerdo con Chrisean, Blueface le pidió que se acercara con la esperanza de obtener ayuda con el niño.

Ella afirma que Blueface la emboscó y la agredió, golpeándola varias veces en la cabeza. Al parecer dejó pruebas sangrientas por todo su coche y sus nudillos. Chrisean se negó a abandonar la entrada de Blueface y le dijo a sus seguidores que estaba esperando a que la policía viniera a llevárselo a la cárcel.

Sin embargo, en cuanto a Blueface, Chrisean afirma que apareció sin previo aviso y dijo que el bebé, Chrisean Jr, estaba siendo transportado sin la seguridad de un asiento para bebés en el carro.

Chrisean posteó los mensajes, demostrando que él le había pedido que viniera.

Fuentes policiales nos dicen que no ha habido llamadas, pero es innegable que la situación que rodea al niño ha sido tóxica durante semanas.

NBA YoungBoy's beaming with the holiday spirit ... the elusive rap star made a random couple's day by handing them a big wad of cash from his own pocket!!!

The random act of kindness went down Wednesday night outside a Target in Utah, where YoungBoy's security startled a man, woman and their young child while attempting to track them down.

YoungBoy's guard apologized for scaring them but quickly told 'em it was their lucky day ... NBA had free money for them, and slipped the guy a handful of bills as the woman filmed.

The gift almost caused a rift ... the man excitedly blurted out how NBA "gave me some cash" to which the woman replied, "It's our cash."

Luckily, YoungBoy arrived on the scene with impeccable timing and handed the woman her own Christmas cash ... likely preventing an argument on the ride home.

NBA dapped up the man, and told him seeing him grouped up with his family made him happy ... and he made their bank account a little bigger. They don't call him Never Broke Again for nothing!!!

It's safe to say YoungBoy's on a high this week ... court docs obtained by TMZ Hip Hop reveal a judge modified the conditions of his house arrest. He'll now be allowed to travel for medical appointments, court appearances and other pre-approved activities.
